WHY??

Since Popularity = LOADS of Page views (PVs)
Since Loads of PVs = Whoring for PVs
Whoring for PVs = DArama

How do people whore their PVs?

Buy an affordable 1 month subs for a super popular deviant, & DON'T click your name to be anonymous. Enjoy a month of your page advertisement in a form of a direct link to your profile page which is put on the popular artist/s profile bar!

2.) Write an interesting line in your siggy and put a link that actually lead to your profile page.

3.) Feature strangers' arts, send them note or comment telling them they get a feature but don't link them to the related news or journal, but to the profile page instead!

4.) Faving a lot of arts and let's wait for some of "Thxs for the fav!" on the profile page.

5.) Write a nonstop journal everyday or every other day, asking a simple question so that every watcher can write a comment, sit nice, reply some and harvest the PVs.

6.) Abuse fanarts, if possible, make 9 of 10 your arts are fanarts of either: Naruto, FF, Bleach & Zelda ... No need to work hard on any of thiz, a simple trace can do a magnificent PV result.

7.) Find a weakness of a popular deviant, provoke your watchers, do a gang rape, everyone will flock to see who this "brave" person is.

8.) BAAW-ing on any undeserved DD

9.) Write How to be a popular/good/nice deviant, etc news, it always sells like hot cakes.

10.) Wanna add your own reason...? Write a comment below!

DA should hide the Page views stats so that only the account owner him/herself that can see it. This won't affect adcast but it will reduce the popularity contest & DArama here.

My most bitter experience about PVs was when mine was still around 2000 and someone suggested me to lower my price to $10 for something like my Azura painting [link] which I painted for a month... simply becoz I was a "nobody". It's so obvious today that an artist here is not seen from his/her hard work doing devious arts but from how popular (read how many PVs) they get.... It's sad, indeed.

Feel the same? Put this stamp on your journal or shoutboard. Thanks!
